I was blown away when I read the post that started all this.

You got guys on here complaining about the price we are advertising animals for that do not have even half the animals or dollars invested that you, or I do. I have more to lose on the snows then anyone in this industry. I have not lowered my prices simply to move animals, I have lowered my prices because no one is buying snow hondurans period. I do not care if I have 1 or 20 I did not produce them so I could care for them for months until hopefully someone decides they want one. I produced them for the joy of it. Now there are here and I want them gone. I, you no-one person controls this market and what it does from year to year. We are slaves to the buyer. When times are tuff and animals aren't moving you have to lower prices. Look at what the car industry is doing. Maybe they should just hold all their cars and trucks and someday someone will pay asking price.

I sold a couple of animals to Ric Blair last night. "Hope he is not made I say this" he told me he was offered snows for 400 each months ago and he turned them down. John Schmidt also told me he was offered whole-sale snows for 300 each and he to turned it down. This was way before Daytona or any ads were ran on KS.

If the new price for snows is 750 or 450 it's still a nice amount of money for a colubrid. And they in my opinion are worth every penny. It was suggested to me that I post pics of the adults. I think that is a great idea. Maybe we need to display our adults at the shows so buyers can truly appreciate the beauty of these animals. When next years babies are produced think of how snows there will be? If we cannot sell the limited numbers we have now what will we do next year? I think that lowering the price just makes sense. More snakes produced - lower price - public buys - more money in our pockets by simply numbers sold. I wish Terry D would add his 2 cents.
